Aroa Kainga Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time, owners are very friendly and helpful. Provided snorkel gear, recommendations, and star fruit! Location is perfect, right by beach. Would stay again."

IRO LUXURY RETREAT - Panoramic views with absolute privacy

8/10 Good

"We had a truly wonderful stay here over the past week. Perfect for our group of 11. Gorgeous home, great location for us, beautiful in and out. Niggles...no hot water when we got there and had to figure out hooking up a new gas bottle, some beds a bit hard, no blankets and then not enough when supplied, and movie room smells very damp...but honestly, these things were minor given what the property gives back and provides. I would most definitely stay here again, without hesitation. Sad to leave and just adored it. Thank you Kevin and Tina...and Melody."

Aroa Beachside Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my Stay at Aroa Beach inn such a diamond in the rough wasn’t to far from town and airport I had a deluxe studio on the second floor over looking the ocean pool and Ship wreck bar prime location even my friends that stayed in other locations on the island wished they stay here they had snorkeling and kayaking gear with helmets and life jacket there was enough parking for small cars and scooters all staff was helpful rooms cleaned daily they even rake the sand n pick up lose leafs on the beach every morning nice cold beer n great food at the bar you can sit at any table awesome view of the ocean I’ll be back for sure thank you staff n crew for the experience of a life time"

Sanctuary Rarotonga-On the beach - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"The room was right next to the most beautiful beach with fantastic snorkelling. The swimming pool was lovely and there was a swim-up bar where you could order drinks. I liked that guests could use The Rarotongan facilities too such as the pool, beach, activities hut and restaurant. There was a great selection of food available to eat during breakfast. The bus stop was right opposite the resort which was handy. I would still recommend hiring a car to get places quickly. My bedroom needed a drying rack and the tv sound was not the best, but it didn’t matter too much because I was out and about most of the day. The main thing I didn’t like was that the restaurant floor was sand - it would be much better if it was concreted and then tiled."

Lagoon Breeze Villas

8/10 Good

"Situated in a lovely well laid out property in the South Western area of the island. 11 km from the main town. Quiet and peaceful,except for the Roosters!! Breakfast is great with a good selection of cereals, fruits and juices, breads, for toasting, plus.tea or coffee. A pool on site and a nice beach across the road. Kayaks and snorkeling gear are available free of charge. I,as a non driver, rented an E Bike and used busses and the occasional taxi which worked OK. However a car or scooter would be more convenient. Vicki and Naomi in the office were great. Always cheerful, friendly and helpful. As we're the grounds team and the villa servicing team. A very nice 11 night stay"
